The first black person to write a novel is often considered to be Olaudah Equiano, whose autobiographical work "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano" was published in 1789. However, the first novel published by a black woman in English is generally attributed to Harriet E. Wilson, whose book "Our Nig" was published in 1859. While Equiano's work is a narrative rather than a traditional novel, both figures are significant in the context of early black literature.
